I don't know how to feel about this. I figured with the earthquake and tsunami that this bogus nonsense would be something swept under the rug and never heard from again. Anyone in Japan that can comment on this?
Well, that one was pretty much inevitable since new rules were introduced, so I can't say that I'm shocked or particularly angry.
For now, it seems most of any cancellations are done by the industry, rather than any governmental "intervention" - how much worse, or better, that might be I cannot say, although I suppose it's always better that iron-fisted purge by some conservative lackeys who can't keep their children in line.
But it's not like all laws are eternal, and that politicians hold their posts for life.
